TIE PEOPLE FRIGHTENED.


TOWNS IN INDIANA AND ILLINOIS SHAKEN UP AND
THE PEOPLE FRIGHTENED.
a special from Terre Haute, Ind, says: This city
was visited this Sunday morning by two severe
shocks of earthquake, which, according to the
testimony Of those having experienced them,
were more severe than that of last fall. The
shocks came in quick succession and were followed
by heavy rumbling sounds which awakened the
sOundeSt sleepers. The direction was seemingly
from southeast TO northwest and shocks were felt
more in the eastern part OF the city. Houses were
shaken severely, causing the window-panes to
rattle, chandeliers 10 sway perceptibly. The SeiS-
mOscOpe at Rose Polytechnic institute recorded
time OF shock at 1855. President Mendenhall, who
tention, estimates the duration OF the shock at
about ten seconds He places the intensity at
from two to three, on basis which gave The
Charleston quake an intensity OF six There is an
instance reported OF man who had been travel
ing all night on railroad train and just getting
into bed when the shock came. He was seized
damage Is reported from the shock. Dispatches
from Evansville, Ind, and Springfield, CentraIia,
HillsbOro and many other southern and central
Illinois towns report rumbling noises, accom-
panied by sleep-dispeling earth vibrations.
THE SHOCKS FELT IN MISSOURI.
st. Louis special Sunday says: few min
utes after four o'clock this morning two distinct
earthquake shocks were felt in this city, In the
fourth story Of the Western Union Office, where a
number OF telegraph operators were at work, the
shocks produced dizzy motion that could not be
accounted for at the time. Policemen, printers
and others in the streets at the time state that
there was no rumbling or sound OF any kind. Dis
patches from st. Charles, Jefferson City, Boon
vile, Lexington and other points in the state say
that the two shocks felt there about the same
time and created a great deal OF conservation.
kilograms from MattOOn, Shelbyville, Vandalia
Highland, Greenville, Edwardsville and other CEN
trail Illinois towns, cOrrObOrate the statements
that the shocks passed entirely across Illinois and
Missouri. SO far NO damage has been reported.

A SUNDAY RAID OF THE POLICE ON A LITERARY
AND MUSICAL ASSOCIATION FOR MUTUAL BENE-
FIr''-THE RESULT.
Yesterday morning about eleven O'Clock Detec-
tives Ran and Horne and Lieut.. Kelly went with
raiding warrant, issued by Major Moore, to the
rooms OF 'The Potomac Literary and Musical assO-
clatlon,n on the second floor OF No. 4G} Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and arrested Clarence O'Brien, who
Is charged with running gambling establish
ment there. O'Brien was on Saturday before the
Police Court, charged with being q suspicious
character. To the charge, his counsel pleaded
guilty, and the court took his personal bonds to
leave the District. Later In the day the officers
arrested i. Oppenheimer, who, 1t is charged, was
connected with OBrien IN the alleged Illegal
practices and he will probably be used as a wit
ness. When the officers raided the rooms they
captured quantity OF chips and playing cards
and the books and charter OF the association. The
OBJECT OF the society, stated in the charter, Is
mutual benefit" A regular set OF books was
kept in which the members names were regis
tered ard minutes OF proceedings entered.
The attention OF the police was called to the
place one day last week when man lodged COM
plant. stating that ON Thursday evening he met
some men who claimed to be his friends. They
were very pleasant young men, and after they had
had several drinks together one of them suggested
that they go to the "club." He favored this sug-
the association rooms, surrounded by crowd of
young men Who were having ga good time" He
was introduced to the boys, and after smoking and
drinking, a game OF poker was mentioned. He was
pleased at having q chance to win a few dollars,
but few minutes later he found that his last dol
lar had been won by his friends and he drew sew
eral checks 10 get even, but they were also won.
AFTER losing his money-S26-and 500 in checks
he went home and related his experience to his
wife, who went at once to the bank and had the
payment of the checks stopped. The next morning
OBI1en appeared at the bank with the checks, but
the officials refused to cash them. Similar cases
have heretofore been reported, but in each case
the victim refused to prosecute.
To-day, in the Police Court, O'Brien was charged
with setting up a gaming table, and the case was
continued until Thursday

Prohibition i'm Georpia.

POLICE RAIDS ON THE yIOLATORS OF THELAw
Last week was one OF sensation in Atlanta grow.
ing out OF the prohibition question. Early in the
week it was determined by the police authorities
to make a raid upon the open violators OF the law
and detectives were stationed around at various
points. The climax was reached when on Wednes
day night two detectives Swallowed four barrels
OF liquor which were taken from the station to the
city brewery. An hour later dray Started ont
with two OF the barrels and delivered them at the
wine room OF Kenny q Werner, where the detac-
tiveS pOunced upon them. just then Mr. Kenny
stepped In and declared that the barrels had been
delivered there by mistake and Should have
gone to his house A big crowd had col.
fected and a conflict seemed Imminent. when fbe
detectives retired and permitted Kenny to remove
the liquor to his home. Cases were made ont
against the brewery and the Wine-rOOm keeners
Fines OF $500 each were entered up against ali the
defendants with the alternative OF thirty DAYS On
the rock pile. Another incident OF the week was
the arrest OF Bill Belts, negro. Belts was com
ing out OF a wine room when policeman grabbed
him, searched his pockets and took therefrom nv
force bottle Of whisky. Belts took out a noxseS
sorry warrant for the bottle, and the question viii
now be tested as to whether such mode OF se,1nro

Duel on the Road.
HOW TWO NORTH CAROLINA POLITICIANS SETTI

HOW TWO NORTH CAROLINA POLITICIANS SETTLED
CAPAIGN DISPUTES.
A special to the Philadelphia Press from Raleigh
n. c., February 3, gives the following details oil
the duel between two politicians of that state
heretofore briefly mentioned in THE STAR: DR.. J.
o. Wilcox is the republican leader OF Ashe county
and Mr. John Baker is one of the leading demo-
Gratis OF the same county. During last falls cam.
paign bitter feud sprang up between the men in
discussing political questions AS the campaign
greatest difficulty that duel between them was at
that time prevented. The election came off and the
republicans carried the county by nearly 300 ma
j0r1ty. Wilcox gl0red and exulted in the victory
and the defeat OF his enemies and again de-
nOunced Baker.
Matters passed off at this until yesterday. Dr.
Wilcox had been visiting patient, and, on his re-
turn home, met Baker in the road. No one was
present except the two principals. Baker invited
that he could not longer submit to the denuncia-
tions OF Wilcox, and had only done SO this length
OF time In difference to the pleadingS OF his Wife
He then declared that he could not live any longer
without settlement of the difficulty according to
the code.
81 am ready and anxious" said DR.. Wilcox, 'to
accommodate you at any time and in any manner
you DESIRE"
"Are you armed?" asked Baker.
ayes, replied the doctor.
Each pulled his pistol and it was eXamin ed by
the other and handed back to the owner. II was
nice, level piece OF road where they met, and 1t
was agreed that they would mark Off fifteen
PAGES and take their stations and commence and
continue TO fire until one or both were hurt or
their weapons exhausted. This agreement was
so well executed that five rounds were fired and
on the last round Baker was shot through the
head and is said to be mOrtaliy wounded.
Wilcox then gave Baker the benefit of his skill
as physician and saw him safely home. Baker
Immediately sent for his friends and made state
ment embodying these facts, and that he pressed
the duel on Wilcox, and that Wilcox only acted in
Self-defenSe.
Wilcox is a man OF high character and is
known as a desperate man when aroused He
has several times been elected TO the legislature
examination Wilcox found two bullet-hOles
through his hat and one In his clothes Wilcox
married a Miss Henry, Of this city, and has sew
eral children

Mr. BUSH PROPOSES A CONTRACT FOR CENTER BOARDS
Mr. GOELETS PRIZES.
John Il. Bird, secretary OF the--New York Yacht
club, has received letter from R. T. Rush, say
ing: II think 1t would be an excellent plan
for the center-board people to get up race to be
started the same time with the DauntleSs, Coronet
end other keel SchOonerS, and make the entry fee,
II they choose much smaller, say 81 900 or less Ii
such race should be organized and open TO keel
schooners, would be glad to enter the Coronet In
that race also, as the boats could all start at one
time and would neceSSftate only one trip across.
This would leave the race between the Dauntless
and the Coronet and other large keel schooners
that might be entered distinctive and taking a
hand in the board by the keel schooner
owners would simply be for sport"
Mr. Bird has also received from Robert Goelet,
saying; ''In accordance with letter received
from my brother, Ogden GOelet, he desires me to
ofer for him the following prizes VIZ: one cup OF
LOCO, to be sailed for by schooners OF the New
York Yacht club; one cup OF $500 to be sailed for
by the SlOOpS OF the New York yacht club. These
prizes to be competed for at Newport, K l., on the
same day, during the month OF August next. The
day to be selected by the flag officers the course
to be decided by the regatta committee; the race
TO be sailed under their jurisdiction according to
the rules Of the club, and with the time allowance
as IN races for the cups given by him in August,

Girl,s Wonderful Pluck.


HER SCALP HAVING BEEN TORN OFF, SHE ENDURES TWO
TERRIBLE OPERATIONS WITHOUT wINCING.
Last Thursday afternoon Emma Numann, en-
ployed by the Bristol, Conn.,, Manufacturing COM
pany, met with one OF the most painful injuries
ever recorded. AS she was standing on her table
her hair caught in the shafttng and in an instant
the whole top Of her head, including her left ear
her left eyelid, skin OF the forehead and down as
far as her hair went on her neck was torn Off and
dropped on the tloOr beside her. Other girls ran
and tainted. She coolly stepped down and seated
herself while a foreman came and replaced the
scalp The doctor stitched it on with 20 stitches
even vince On saturday it was found decomposi-
ton was setting in as the scalp had been of 20
minutes, so now the surgeons have again removed
the scalp. Iodoform gauze and oiled six have been
placed over the bare skull. The girl bore the ope-
ration, which the doctors say was the most diff
cult they ever undertook, bravely, but her pulse
and respiration are going rapidly up. Yet there
is hope that her strong constitution will bring her
through. This result would make it finally an un-
parallel case.

UniOnists in Conference.

A MEMBER OF GLADSTONE'S LAST CABINET CONDEMNs
HIS PRESENT POLICY.
A great uniOnist conference was held in Man.
chester, England, Saturday. Among the speakers
was Sir Henry James, who was attorney general
under Mr.. Gladstone's last administration. He
said that while year ago the liberal leaders did
not utter single word in behalf Of home rule,
they now associated themselves with the promul-
gators OF the plan OF campaign. What safeguards
he asked, could protect the minority in Ireland?
Casting off the Irish ioyalists was similar to aban-
doning drowning man. "If Irish landlords ap-
pear harsh, he said, g remember that the tenants
and the agitatOrs declared war against them. Ii
landlordism is a crime In Ireland it must also be
q crime1n England"
Lord Harrington, the earl Of Derby, and Mr..
John Bright sent letters expressing regret at their
inability to attend the conference.
